Roadmaps for Web Development
One of the best ones I like very much is the developer roadmaps website. On that website, there are step-by-step guides for becoming a frontend developer, backend developer, React developer, etc. One of the good things is that it is up-to-date.
For example, this is the roadmap to becoming a modern front-end web developer. See the below image and note that this image is not complete and may be outdated so go to the mentioned URL to see the newest roadmap:

The above roadmaps are detailed; beginners may fear the long road ahead with the languages, tools, and technologies. Of course, these roadmaps tell you you don’t need to know everything. For example in the frontend roadmap, first learn the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Then, take a job and dig deeper into more learning materials.
But you may need a simplified version. In this case, this website recently created a simplified version of roadmaps. See the below image as an example to see where you can find it:

Web Development Roadmap – YouTube
YouTube is always a notable option for learning. Below are two example videos from a popular channel offering roadmaps for web development.
What Is the Web Development Roadmap
If you want a basic one, look at W3Schools’ roadmap for web development. It is a simple roadmap without any additional information that everyone can easily follow in the first stages of their career.

In addition to a roadmap page, this resource includes other information that a web developer may need and want to know. For example: what is HTTP, what is HTML, what is CSS, what is Responsive, etc.
Conclusion
Sometimes, the road to becoming a web developer is confusing and frustrating for beginners. So, I hope this post helps you become a successful web developer with more ease and confidence. You can use this and search online for other resources, too.
